ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to better predict and manage pain during non-sedated colonoscopies, which are important for screening colorectal cancer. The goal is to create a more accurate model that can identify patients who may experience more discomfort during the procedure. By understanding these factors, doctors can take steps to help reduce pain and make the experience more comfortable for patients.

To participate, you must be between 18 and 75 years old and scheduled for a non-sedated colonoscopy at Ningbo University Affiliated Hospital between September 2024 and September 2025. If you agree to join the study, you'll provide some basic health information and share how much pain you feel during the colonoscopy. Participating in this trial will not interfere with your regular care; you’ll just need to follow your doctor's instructions and complete the bowel preparation as usual. Please note that certain health conditions may prevent you from participating, such as recent serious illnesses or specific bowel issues.
